Les écologistes corses et sardes unis contre une base américaine
Environnement L'extension du site atomique de La Maddalena est un sujet d'inquiétude sur les deux îles.
Dominique Costa
[02 novembre 2005]
LA STRATÉGIE de l'US-Navy dans l'archipel de La Maddalena est parvenue à unir Corses et Sardes. «C'est un combat pour l'environnement et pour les droits nationaux de notre communauté de destin !», dit-on dans les deux îles méditerranéennes, où les mouvements de protestation s'amplifient pour réclamer le départ de la marine américaine.
Quelque deux cents manifestants se sont récemment donné rendez-vous sur l'île italienne pour dénoncer le projet d'extension du Squadron Submarine 22 sur l'îlot de San Stefano, là où les États-Unis compte renforcer leur stratégie de défense autonome. Coloré par des bannières arborant de fières têtes de maures déclinées en corse et en sarde, le petit port de Palau a fédéré des communistes jusqu'aux indépendantistes.
«Cette base américaine devait être une installation provisoire. Mais elle comporte aujourd'hui des dizaines de milliers de mètres cubes de béton et abrite une flotte d'intervention nucléaire. Elle doit disparaître», plaide Jean-Christophe Angelini. Et l'élu corse, porte-parole du Partitu di a Nazione Corsa (PNC) de mettre en exergue les menaces que fait peser sur l'environnement et la santé publique l'édification d'un Guantanamo atomique au coeur de la Méditerranée. Le 25 octobre 2003, un sous-marin à propulsion nucléaire, l'USS Hartford, avait subi une importante avarie à moins de 10 kilomètres des côtes. Les autorités américaines s'étaient empressées d'affirmer qu'il ne s'agissait que d'un incident mineur, avant de renvoyer le bâtiment à sa base de Norfolk en Virginie et de relever le commandant de ses fonctions.
Cet accident a provoqué un début de panique sur les deux îles et réveillé les associations de défense de l'environnement. Dans le contexte actuel de terrorisme, elles redoutent une action contre le site atomique de la Maddalena, créé en 1972 pour surveiller les mouvements de la flotte soviétique...
Désormais, le gouvernement italien est disposé à offrir à la marine américaine 19 hectares de son territoire situé au coeur du parc naturel marin des Bouches de Bonifacio. Le chantier d'extension de la base, déjà engagé, permettrait de déployer au sol des forces militaires et plusieurs missiles dont chacun aurait une puissance de destruction dix fois supérieure à la bombe d'Hiroshima. Le gouvernement français étant discret sur la question, c'est de Bruxelles que les insulaires sardes et corses espèrent obtenir le démantèlement du «quai de l'Otan».

j'imagine que si des armes de petits calibres de fabrication Française etaient utilisées par des mouvements armés revolutionnaire ou autres bonjour l'image alors on s'abstient. en plus la diplomatie Française est active pour ce qui concerne le controle des armements de petits calibres des mines anti-personnels et meme de certains armements a sous munitions.

Même entre eux, ils n'arrivent pas à s'entendre

FREMM Italie
dans Europe

Italy Finds FREMM Funds
By TOM KINGTON, ROME
The Italian government said it has found the 2 billion euros ($2.4 billion) it needs to stay in Europe’s largest naval construction program since World War II.
Italian officials had pulled out on Oct. 4 just before signing a formal agreement with France to begin the Frégates Européenes Multimissions, or FREMM. The program will provide 10 frigates for Italy and 17 for France. The pullout followed the Italian Treasury’s decision to cut the 300 million euros lined up to begin Italy’s end of the program.
Italian Cabinet Secretary Gianni Letta on Oct. 25 confirmed the government’s backing for a spread payment plan.
In a note faxed to unions and also sent to shipbuilder Fincantieri and the ministries of Finance, Defense and Industry, Letta wrote that the matter was “practically resolved.” Attached to the note, which Defense News has seen, is a copy of an amendment “presented by the government” to Italy’s 2006 budget law, which provides just over 2 billion euros for FREMM.
Under the amendment, the program will receive 30 million euros a year for 15 years starting in 2006, an extra 30 million euros a year for 15 years from 2007 and a top-up of 75 million euros annually for 15 years from 2008.
Industry Minister Claudio Scajola told reporters Oct. 27 that “multi-year funding has been inserted in the budget of the Industry Ministry, covering two prototypes, which are the more expensive of the frigates.”
The amendment now will be voted on by the Italian Senate’s Budgetary Commission. If approved, it will be inserted in Italy’s 2006 budget law, which then will be voted on by both houses of parliament. An Italian defense source on Oct. 28 said that approval of the amendment by the Senate commission could be a sufficient guarantee for the delayed signing of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the French to go ahead. That MoU is needed to allow the industries of tht two countries to start work.
Opposition Sen. Lorenzo Forcieri told Defense News Oct. 28 that approval by the commission could come this week. “What is yet to be confirmed is whether the funding will take the form of loans or as regular funding,” he said.
In Paris, a government official said a team from the Délégation Générale pour l’Armament (DGA) procurement office would go to Rome soon to rewrite the FREMM contract, taking into account the Italian budgetary changes.
The contract could be signed in a matter of days, the official said.
“We are looking more at adjustments in terms of the payment schedule rather than the overall amount,” Defence Ministry spokesman Jean-François Bureau told a news conference Oct. 27, adding that the contract could be signed in November.
Wait and See
Sandro Bianchi, a union representative for Italian shipyard workers, said that unions would remain on “war footing” until the funding was certain. “Too many government statements have been contradicted by the facts,” he said.
Though there was no French deadline for a signing, the French Navy was eager to get its ship launched and DCN’s Toulon shipyard was anxious to start work, the French government official said. The program already was a year late as funds were available for a launch in the 2004 defense budget.
A French industry source said the delay represented a serious political and diplomatic problem for Italy. “This is really a governmental problem,” he said.
A Fincantieri spokesman was more sanguine. “Given the amendment, we believe a few months’ delay now will not have a huge impact on a multi-year program,” he said Oct. 28.
French industry has been ready to start work on a national basis, leaving the door open for Italy to join later. But the main concern then would be how to divide the development costs, which are supposed to be shared equally between the two countries.
The government official agreed, saying the main benefit of a cooperative effort is in sharing the development cost burden.
That the Italian defense establishment is awaiting the approval by the Senate Defense Commission of the amendment, to be sure it carries weight, indicates how little in Italian politics is set in stone. The law passed in April to free up 300 million euros for FREMM, but was overturned by Finance Minister Giulio Tremonti while he was looking to trim national spending.
The involvement in the new payment solution by Letta is, however, some guarantee. A powerful but behind-the-scenes operator in the Cabinet, Letta has handled negotiations related to various crises, from threatened airline strikes to the shooting in Iraq by U.S. troops of an Italian secret service agent.
Fincantieri, which builds ferries and cruise ships as well as naval vessels, will seek to transfer civil work to its two naval shipyards should the delay to the FREMM program create a gap in production. It already is working on a fast ferry for a Swedish client at its Riva Trigosi naval yard.
Finmeccanica, which has teamed with Fincantieri on FREMM in Italy, has an eye on possible export sales of the frigates. Speaking to unionists Oct. 24, Pierfrancesco Guarguaglini, chief executive of the industrial group, criticized Italian controls on arms exports, which he said could limit FREMM sales. •

This is the first Israel Space Agency (ISA) - Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES) cooperation.
Globes correspondent 30 Oct 05 12:04
French space agency Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES), and El-Op, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems (Nasdaq: ESLT; TASE: ESLT), today announced the signing of a contract for the supply of a scientific electro optical space camera called Venms.
The contract is for the production of the camera, which will be mounted onboard a micro satellite. The contract follows a successful feasibility study by El-Op.
The installation of the Venms camera on the micro satellite is pursuant to a cooperation agreement implemented through a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed in June 2005 between the Israel Space Agency (ISA) and CNES. This is the first cooperation between ISA and CNES.
The contract was signed by El-Op and CNES at a ceremony at El-Op’s facilities in Rehovot, Israel. CNES delegation was led by Pierre Moskwa, Director of Space - Toulouse Center. The ceremony was attended by the ISA’s senior management.
The contract calls for the camera to be supplied in approximately 30 months. CNES intends to launch the satellite eight months later.
The camera, designed and produced by El-Op, is a scientific camera used for research on land surfaces, especially for monitoring the productivity and carbon balance of ecosystems and crops and for water management of irrigated crops. The camera is based on El-Op concepts of super-spectral detectors, including 12 channels in the visible and the near infrared spectrum. The camera will be capable of producing images with a resolution of approximately 5.3 meters.
El-Op general manager Haim Rousso said, “We see great potential for the camera in additional scientific and commercial applications such as agriculture, ground mapping, environment and security monitoring and research."

Bentégeat : "maintenir impérativement les dépenses de défense à 2 % du PIB"
Le chef d'état-major des armées françaises Henri Bentégeat, estime qu'il faut "impérativement maintenir les dépenses de défense à 2 % du PIB dans la prochaine loi de programmation", dans une interview parue lundi dans le quotidien économique Les Echos.
Le maintien de ce budget est nécessaire, selon le général Bentégeat, "en particulier parce que de nombreux grands programmes, tels que le Rafale et l'A400M (avion cargo Airbus), arrivent en production".
Le chef d'état-major se félicite du fait que, actuellement, "la loi de programmation des armées est bien partie pour être exécutée". Il précise que, aujourd'hui, "les dépenses militaires représentent 2 % du PIB et 12 % du budget de l'Etat", et rappelle: "quand je suis entré dans l'armée, il y a quarante ans, ces dépenses représentaient respectivement 4,5 % et 21 %".
"Personne ne jugeait ces ratios insuportables", ajoute-t-il, mais il est vrai qu'alors "la France a construit sa dissuasion nucléaire".
Sur la dissuasion nucléaire, le général Bentégeat affirme qu'il "n'y a pas de clivage fondamental en France sur ces questions là", ajoutant que "toutes les dispositions pour adapter notre dissuasion nucléaire ont été prises en période de cohabitation". "Dans leur immense majorité, les Français ne contestent pas les choix qui ont été faits", assure-t-il.
Enfin, malgré le rejet de la Constitution européenne par les Français, le chef d'état-major des armées estime que "dans la défense, l'acquis (européen) est considérable, en termes d'institutions, d'expérience opérationnelle et de promotion capacitaire".

“Defense News”: US blockage of Israeli participation in the F-35 JSF program is causing it to consider alternatives.
Ran Dagoni, Washington 27 Oct 05 10:50
In its latest issue, “Defense News” reports that senior Ministry of Defense officials and Israel Air Force (IAF) commanders are considering alternatives to the US F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), if Minister of Defense Shaul Mofaz is unable to persuade the Pentagon to resume Israeli participation in the program.
The US suspended Israeli participation in the JSF program, following the dispute over Israel’s sale of Phalcon AWACS planes to China. Although the dispute was settled, and Israel has agreed to coordinate with the US arms sales to third countries, the ban on Israeli participation in the JSF program is still in place, and is apparently due to other reasons.
Mofaz will visit Washington in early November for talks with US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. “Defense News” reports that Mofaz will press the US to renew strategic cooperation with Israel and allow it to again participate in the design of the JSF.
Israel’s military establishment fully agrees that the original plan to buy 100 customized F-35s over the next decade is the preferred option for the IAF’s future operational capabilities. But uncertainty over Israel’s participation in the program has led defense officials to consider other options, including leapfrogging the F-35 fifth-generation fighter for the IAF, and going onto the next level: an unmanned air combat vehicle (UCAV). Another option raised by low-level defense establishment officials is for Israel to buy the Eurofighter Typhoon. However, senior Ministry of Defense and IDF officials reject this option for financial, political and operational reasons.
For decades, Israel has financed large weapons procurements with US military aid, and Israeli officials say that buying non-US combat aircraft is an idea that won’t fly.
Officials in the Ministry of Defense and defense industry warn that if US sanctions against Israel persist, Israel will have to more seriously consider an option to the JSF, especially in view of the fact that the US has prevented exchanges of technological information with Israel in the JSF design for over a year. “Defense News” says that this ban has apparently caused serious delays in essential Israeli preparations designed to ensure the inclusion of Israeli-designed weapons, electronic warfare and other subsystems in the JSF.
If Israel does not rejoin the JSF program within weeks, it will miss the chance to contribute inputs in the plane’s design, which will enter a critical phase in February 2006. Without Israeli inputs, Israel will have to spend billions of dollars more to meet IAF specifications in subsequent deliveries.
“We all hope that Mofaz and Rumsfeld can reach an arrangement before the window of opportunity is closed to Israel,” a senior IDF Plans and Policy Directorate officer told “Defense News”. “If, over the next ten, twenty, or even forty years, we have to deal with a combat plane that isn’t optimalized for our needs, and we can’t install our unique weapons and subsystems, we’ll have to review our investment strategy in air power procurements.”
Israel Ambassador to the US Daniel Ayalon told “Globes” in response that there would be a favorable solution to the problem of US-Israeli strategic relations. Mofaz’s spokesperson said, “There are expectations in Jerusalem that the previous situation will be restored sooner, rather than later.”
In some respects, it is already too late. Even if Rumsfeld agrees to Israel’s request to rejoin the JSF program, the IAF will probably not see initial deliveries before 2015-16. If deliveries are delayed beyond 2019 or 2020, the IAF will have to design upgrades to the F-15I, its current combat mainstay, or possibly buy more of this model.

Des sources de la défense déclarent que les Français sont intéressés par la possibilité d’acheter un navire de guerre ultra-moderne comme renfort pour leur porte-avions nucléaire vieillissant, le Charles de Gaulle, qui a connu de nombreux problèmes.
quand on fait de telle declaration je peux vous dire qu'en cas d'acceptation des propositions Britanniques ce sera pire.
tous les problemes du CDG seront remis sur la table.
DCN va en prendre plein la gueule.
Des pays comme le Bresil,l'Inde se tourneront pas vers DCN mais vers BAE pour une expertise sur leurs projets de PA (quand ils en auront).

Hundreds protest at US base on Italian island
SANTO STEFANO, Italy (AFP) Oct 29, 2005
About 400 protesters on Saturday called on the United States to dismantle a military base off the northern coast of the Italian island of Sardinia and demanded Washington give up plans to extend the facility.
The peaceful protest on Santo Stefano island was joined by environmentalists, anti-nuclear militants and Sardinian separatists.
"We will not allow the situation to get worse; there is a risk for the Sardinian and Corsican people's health and security," French environmentalist Roland Tafani told the ANSA news agency.
Tafani represents an association of environmentalists from the Corsican town of Bonifacio.
The protest came two years after a US nuclear submarine hit the seabed between the Sardinian islands of Maddalena, Caprera and San Stefano in the strait between Sardinia and Corsica, France.
Protesters said that algae samples taken from the area three months after the incident revealed radioactivity 100 times higher than normal.

Une chose est sûre les britanniques qui étaient grandement pressés en cette année 2005 ,viennent de repousser les décisions au milieu de l'année 2006 ,y-auraient-ils des viscissitudes et de sérieux retard dans le calendrier et projet britannique ? défaut de budget , divergences entre BAE Systems /Thales UK /MoD ....
a mon avis c'est a cause(surtout) du F-35 qui est en retard,dont les commandes USA baisse et pire encore pour les Brits, l'abandon de la version a decolage cours et atterissage vertical. :lol:
